Yeah, that plant should be repotted. I can put the pot on my head and the stems completely cover my face. DD say it's an improvement.

I just happened into these epiphytes by happenstance. Once I saw how happy they were here even with my cool greenhouse (nights in mid-40'sF/7C), I have been on the lookout for more species. I have some hybrids too, but most are seedlings and haven't bloomed yet.

Here is a common one, Rhipsalis crispata in bloom. The flowers are about the same size as the other one, but they open more on crispata.
